Ocular Manifestations of Systemic Disorders | Mitchell J. Wolin, MD | Thyroid eye disease is the most common cause of unilateral or bilateral proptosis in the adult patient. Other signs of thyroid eye disease should be sought, including lid retraction, inferior scleral show, and lid lag. Patients with markedly asymmetric or strictly unilateral proptosis should probabl... |

Isolated Congenital Optic Disc Anomalies | William Fletcher Hoyt, MD | This patient demonstrates bilateral tilted optic discs. Patients with this congenital optic disc anomaly may be asymptomatic or have bitemporal visual field defects that do not respect the vertical midline. Disease/Diagnosis: Tilted Discs. |
| 304 |
 |
Optic Neuropathies | Ralph A. Sawyer, MD | Optic disc edema with a macular star figure has been referred to as neuroretinitis. |
| 305 |
 |
Retinal Coloboma Underneath a Relatively Normal Optic Nerve | Thomas R. Wolf, MD | Optic nerve colobomas appear as enlarged, white optic discs that are deeply excavated, often with some sapring of the superior rim. They result from an abnormal fusion of the proximal embryonic fissure. Optic nerve colobomas occur unilaterally or bilaterally with a similar frequency and can result i... |

 |
Isolated Congenital Optic Disc Anomalies | Thomas R. Wolf, MD | Patients with midline closure defects may exhibit abnormalities in the optic nerve, choroid, retinal pigment epithelium or retina. Anterior closure defects may result in colobomas of the structures of the anterior segment, such as the iris. Disease/Diagnosis: Coloboma. |

 |
Isolated Congenital Optic Disc Anomalies | Anthony C. Arnold, MD | A 10-year-old girl had central visual loss due to this optic pit. Disease/Diagnosis: Optic Pit. |

 |
Optic Disc Drusen Autofluorescence | Anthony C. Arnold, MD | This case of optic disc drusen demonstrates the typical autofluorescence. Pair with 92_68. Imaging: Autoflourescence? |

 |
Isolated Congenital Optic Disc Anomalies | Rosa A. Tang, MD | Normally, there is no visible myelination of the nerve fiber layer in the retina. Occasionally, visible myelination occurs that takes on a characteristic white, arcuate, feathery appearance that follows the contour of the nerve fiber layer. Disease/Diagnosis: Myelinated Nerve Fiber. |
| 311 |
 |
Peripapillary Staphyloma | Thomas R. Wolf, MD | Patients with ectasia of the outer layers of the eye may exhibit a posterior protrusion that appears on funduscopy as an area of deep excavation of the retina (posterior staphyloma). When it occurs around the optic disc, as in this case, it is termed a peripapillary staphyloma. This may occur in ass... |

Systemic Disorders With Optic Nerve and Retinal Findings | Larry P. Frohman, MD | A 42-year old woman presented with a history of severe brow pain and 4 days of progressive visual loss OD. There was no increased pain on ocular rotation. Aside from heavy menses, she denied any significant past medical history. Her examination revealed acuity NLP OD, 20/25 OS; color vision 9/10 OS;... |

 |
Chiasmal Syndromes | Larry P. Frohman, MD | This 39-year-old HIV-positive man presented in 1982 with 1 month of bilateral vision loss. His prior evaluation had included 2 CT scans, which suggested a fullness to the chiasm, and a spinal tap that showed 6 monocytes, 14 red cells, a protein of 81 mg/dl, and a glucose of 56 mg/dl, with a negative... |

Systemic Disorders With Optic Nerve and Retinal Findings | Larry P. Frohman, MD | This 25-year-old man presented to the eye service with a history of 3 days of decreased vision OD. His past medical history was unremarkable. His examination showed acuities of 20/25 OU, with intact color plates, a 0.3 log unit of RAPD OD, and an inferior arcuate scotoma. The photos (Images 95_42, 9... |

 |
Motility Disturbances | Thomas R. Wolf, MD | The patient is a 53-year-old man with diplopia from right oculomotor nerve palsy and left hemiparesis (Weber's syndrome), with associated left lung hilar mass. The spinal tap showed pleocytosis consistent with carcinomatous meningitis. This image demonstrates oculomotor nerve metastatic carcinomatos... |

Ocular Manifestations of Congenital/Inherited Diseases | William Fletcher Hoyt, MD | Tuberous sclerosis is an autosomal dominant phakomatosis characterized by astrocytic hamartomas of the retina or optic nerve, adenoma sebaceum of the face, periungual fibromas, and astrocytic hamartomas of the brain, with secondary seizures and mental retardation. Disease/Diagnosis: Tuberous Scleros... |

Systemic Disorders With Optic Nerve and Retinal Findings | Larry P. Frohman, MD | A 35-year-old African-American woman had gradual bilateral painless visual loss over 3 months. When initially seen, the visual acuities were HM OD, NLP OS. The MRI showed diffused enhancement of the optic nerves and lacrimal glands. The evaluation strongly suggested sarcoidosis, with elevated angiot... |
